1950 Map of Cordova B-2

About this map

Martin River dominates this 1950s aerial survey, its braided channels and vast glacial outwash plains creating a complex delta system before reaching the Gulf of Alaska. The landscape is defined by the massive aquatic features of Martin Lake and Little Martin Lake, which sit at the base of the towering Ragged Mountain. This region, surveyed before any significant modern development, shows an environment shaped by water, with the Martin River Slough and Mirror Slough winding through coastal wetlands. Human presence is exceptionally sparse, marked primarily by the Bennett Rock Cabin 26 near the river's mouth. The map also records several high-altitude survey markers, including VABM Rocky 3315 and VABM Mar 2298, serving as vital triangulation points for mapping this difficult terrain along the Katalla River and Clear Creek.
